The Rhode Island Department of Health is a state government agency based in Providence, Rhode Island. Its core mission is to prevent disease and to protect and promote the health and safety of Rhode Island residents. With no local health departments in the state, RIDOH coordinates public health activities statewide, organizing its work through divisions and centers that cover a broad range of public health functions. Its areas of responsibility include community health and equity, emergency preparedness and response, environmental and health services regulation, health data and analysis, health information and technology, health laboratories, infectious disease and epidemiology, the medical examiner, public health communications, and vital records. The department serves residents and the broader public health system by addressing prevention, surveillance, regulation, data sharing, and health information needs. A notable 2025 development is the launch of an interactive dashboard to visualize lead service-line data.
